Great Headphones

bymacgyver1970 Jul 19, 2005

Pros Sound! Bass response is fabulous for iPods.
Cons Not sure about the over the ear design. However, it neither helps nor hinders performance.
Recommended it? Yes

First of all, I don't think any "in the ear" headphones will be good for the gym or exercising if you choose to buy the kind that only has the vinyl/rubber inserts. Those inserts get slippery when wet (from sweat). The foam one's will work best. Try Etymotic 4Ps or something like them.

Excellent Mis-understood Ear Buds

Pros Great balanced sound, stay in your ears, good noise cancel.
Cons Could be a bit fuller sound.
Recommended it? Yes

I've read some reviews of these phones. Most criticize that they have the ear hooks but they don't hold well. They are missing the point. Some people like me can't wear buds - they fall out of my canals within 45 seconds after I put them in. With these phones, because the wire attaches to the end... Read full review »

Pros comfortable fit carry case is nice several bud sizes to choose from
Cons horrible sound quality any OEM headphone will sound better
Recommended it? No

I'm happy to report that I was fortunate enough NOT to have had to pay for these headphones. They were given to me from a friend. His wife got them for him and didn't fit his ears, so he passed them along to me. $40+ loss for them... Nothing gained for me.

The over-the-ear design, to... Read full review »

Sound good but not good for gym, replace yearly

byhassi Dec 29, 2005
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros sound good, keep noise out, over-the-ear design
Cons expensive ($50 retail), die after 6 months, 32 ohms impedance, 90 day warranty
Recommended it? No

I bought these headphones for one purpose only: to use while exercising with my iPod. I did a lot of research before purchasing them, searching google for reviews on various headphones for sound quality, prices, resistance to sweat, comfort, etc, because my other headphones, Sony's MDR-A35G S2...

Disappointing: Good Quality, Awful Ergonomics

byseani Jul 17, 2005
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Sound quality, isolation, dual length leads, cost, high sensitivity
Cons Poor ergonomics. uncomfortable, not adjustable, asymmetric leads, leads tangle very easily
Recommended it? No

I bought these as replacements for a pair of cheap Ross headphones for the gym. My MDR EX71s are excellent, but they don't stay in very long, the cord tangles easily, noises are transmitted through the cord via friction, and the asymmetrical leads have an irritating way of dragging on one ear.
